Hydra

There are a few types of creatures called hydra in the warcraft lore.

Azeroth Hydras

A hydra is a huge, three-headed monster. They are found at the coasts of Darkshore, Ashenvale, Dustwallow Marsh, and Azshara. They are amphibious and each head has its own will. Some are intelligent and might be the favoured pets or servants of the Old Gods.

Although hydras are usually uncategorized creatures, some hydras in Azshara were recategorized as beasts in patch 2.0.1, possibly to ease hunter tracking during the hunter quest Wavethrashing.
